Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Going to ride pillion on the back of my dad's motorcycle from Norfolk (UK) to Romania's Transfagarasan Highway and back from Saturday 30th July 2011 to Monday 29th August 2011.

I have chosen to set this page up for Mind, the mental health charity, as I have suffered from mental health issues in the past and have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (manic depression)

In case anyone is interested in supporting them, I can tell you that they help people out a great deal with their mental health problems whether they are carers or sufferers.

Change society: Mind influences and changes public attitudes and government policy and practice towards people with mental distress.

Provide support: Mind helps people to take control over their mental health. We do this to make it possible for people who experience mental distress to live full lives, and play their full part in society.

Give people a voice: The needs and experiences of people with mental distress drive our work and we make sure their voice is heard. We will champion the right of people with direct experience of mental distress to have a voice and be heard.

Create mentally healthy communities: Mind works with the local Mind association network and other partners to improve the delivery of services for people experiencing mental distress.

If you donate and support Mind, you are helping to fight stigma. You are helping to provide awareness of mental health issues. And you are helping provide information and advice to families of people with mental health problems or sufferers themselves.

So please help out and donate what you can. There will be a video diary of the adventure available to watch on youtube once it is complete, and a written ride report with photos on horizons unlimited bulletin board and www.advrider.com
